Snip The below signatories commend TPWD for the creation of the Aug. 19, 2015, Emergency Rule addressing the movement of captive-bred deer in light of the CWD finding in a captive breeding facility. The Emergency Rule was crafted in transparent fashion with broad input from all affected stakeholders, including captive deer breeding trade associations, resulting in a balanced response that considers all affected parties. The below signatories encourage the TPWD Commission to adopt the Emergency Rule in its entirety. Furthermore, the signatories advocate for the continued public ownership of all wildlife and support TPWD as it dutifully and expertly stewards all the wildlife resources of the people of this State. Signatories include: Archery Trade Association; Audubon Texas; Austin Woods and Waters Club; Bexar Audubon Society; Boone and Crockett Club; Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program; Hill Country Alliance; Hill Country Conservancy; Houston Safari Club; Lone Star Bow Hunters Association; National Wild Turkey Federation; National Wildlife Federation; Orion – The Hunters Institute; Plateau Land and Wildlife Management; Pope and Young Club; Quality Deer Management Association; Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation; Safari Club International – Houston Chapter; Sierra Club – Lone Star Chapter; Texans for Saving Our Hunting Heritage; Texas Agricultural Land Trust; Texas Bighorn Society; Texas Cattle Feeders Association; Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society; Texas Sportsman's Association; Texas Wildlife Association; and Wildlife Forever.

I'll admit I haven't done my homework on this. See bits and pieces about it. Wish they could find a test to check the animals instead of having to kill them to get the samples needed.
